Chicago thinks about criminalizing small plastic bags
The asinine war on drugs marches on. Criminalizing the bag part of the “dimebag” and forcing dealers to use larger ziplocs is sure to eat into profit margins and force dealers out of business. The proposal to ban bags smaller than 2” on a side will just mean they start using bags that are 2.1” on a side. Then they’ll ban bags smaller than 3” and the cycle will continue ad nauseum until Chicago ends up banning 40 gallon garbage bags.
